BHP in Natter:
I stopped attending one Episcopal church because I realized that spending every Sunday in a tearing rage and planning to seek out and kill every single composer in the Maranatha catalogue was not necessarily compatible with Christian charity.
BHP in natter:
Buying a book?
How is this possible? "Book" is a collective noun. Next you'll be buying "a" pea.
Literary:
BHP: But, you know, Angus said it all far better.
DXM: Well, he is a trained professional.
BHP: He has a degree in... Humanities!
DXM: Don't try this at home, kids.
Spoilers:
Hec: When did Wesley get the Highlights of Existential Despair?
Ple: I think they come with the six-month refill of the Contact Lenses of Moral Ambiguity.
Allyson, Natter, on job-hunting:
Trying to work out how I heard that they were looking for a fundraiser. "So I was chatting about the tenderness of capybara hair and sneering as a metaphor for vampire homosexuality at a BtVS message board one Saturday morning, and someone mentioned you needed a new fundraiser."
Caroma, in Angel Quotes, talking about non-spoilery ways to fine tune the show:
As for Gunn, the writers need to be tied down in front of a continuous playing of 'The Best Moments of Meldrick Lewis' from HOMICIDE, to see how to write a memorable, witty, brave, conflicted black man. They have a lot in common- -both from poor families, interested in justice, good teammates but not willing to put up with any dissing from the others, not too interested in what little rules they have to break to get there, decent and honorable and yet quite imperfect.
PMM in Smallville:
Time heals all wounds that are neither sucking nor chest.
From Natter:
Steph L: I have 4 rooms and a nomadic roach population.
Aimée: Do they use ants to move their stuff from room to room?
Steph L: I strongly suspect so.
Aimée: I think our ants use the dog. They tempt him with treats.
Context is for wimps.
JON B: I liked the blood, but I respect your concerns.
Shrift in Firefly:
Okay, ita is the third Death Star that was never built because leaning on her too hard will probably make her "accidentally" break your nose, and she'd shishkabob the Ewoks, and "Death Star" is too cool a name to waste on shoddy empire contract work.
